The word "inflammable" may be erroneously thought to mean "non-flammable".[3] The erroneous usage of the word "inflammable" is a significant safety hazard. Therefore, since the 1950s, efforts to put forward the use of "flammable" in place of "inflammable" were accepted by linguists, and it is now the accepted standard in American English and British English.[4][5]

yeah, half of what makes it good TV even after the first couple seasons is the fact that they suddenly could just do whatever they wanted to try to replicate impossible conditions for a myth to happen. the cement truck explosion is like that. can a stick of dynamite remove a layer of hardened concrete from a cement mixer? yes, so long as the layer isn't more than half an inch thick or so. can it remove a hardened slab from the bottom of the mixer barrel? no. how much would you need? enough to rupture the barrel. gently caress it, we've got a non-functional cement truck in an abandoned quarry and it'll be easier to take it out as shrapnel, let's vaporize the sucker

then they canned the build team in like season 9 or whatever and it lost its charm and it ended pretty quickly after that

the other half of what makes it good is the narrator absolutely selling those drat puns

yeah, in reality they respect each other's work and some of the banter was genuine but they aren't friends at all

iirc jamie once said he wouldn't be able to work with adam if they *were* capable of being friends, and having spent the better part of the last three years watching adam do stuff for fun on youtube I can completely understand that. dude is just so much more relaxed than analytical

they had to destroy footage from testing the myth that "the cardboard box is healthier for you than the sugary cereal" because they gave one lab mouse sugary cereal, one regular food, and one cardboard for a testing period, and at the end of it when they started to mingle again, the cardboard-fed mouse ate the other two :black101:

Hydrogen fluoride is lighter than air and could theoretically be used as a lifting gas. However, it is extremely corrosive, highly toxic, expensive, is heavier than other lifting gases, and has a low boiling point of 19.5 °C. Its use would therefore be impractical.

The 1978 movie Grease portrays the local drive-in as a preferred spot for trysts. This indicates that the drive-in theater experience was a part of North American pop culture during this time, coupled with people's love for cars and movies. It was also popular among young people to meet up and have sex, smoke marijuana and drink alcohol.

Billy North - Adds fictitious individual "Clutch Kahn" to associated acts or former member fields of infoboxes for alternative rock and blues artists. Once created accounts, now an IP hopping vandal.

Cow cleaner 5000 - Targets articles related to Weekly Shōnen Jump and Justin Knapp. Seems to have a fixation on linking these to terrorist groups or finding ways to link them to non-existent controversies.
